PLBT Guest Post on the AVVO Blog

AVVO is a web site that ranks lawyers based on experience, public recognition and ethics. Although many lawyers reacted negatively to being scored like a hotel or restaurant, most of them got over it. Part of the success of AVVO, as it expands toward the goal of rating lawyers in 50 States, has been its flexibility and innovation. It successfully turned its presentation to the legal profession from stick to carrot and is now perceived by lawyers who have claimed their AVVO page as a marketing tool.

The AVVO blog recently invited guest postings from its rated lawyers, so I wrote one as a means to help introduce Pittsburgh Legal Back Talk to a wider audience.

The guest post is about the lawyer’s need to include non-billable activities into a daily work plan. These are divided into four categories: Finance, Administration, Marketing and Education — F.A.M.E.

At the bottom of the post are links to my AVVO page and a contribution I made to the AVVO Guide concerning what to do when a mortgage foreclosure is imminent. On my AVVO page are links to questions I’ve answered for Avvo readers on a variety of topics.
